Dreams Estrella del Mar Mazatlan Golf & Spa Resort - All Inclusive

Hotel was clean and modern. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Preferred club was worth it for my wife and I. From the bell boys to maids to servers, service was remarkable. Abel and Fernando were our main pool servers at the preferred club pool and they were awesome. Highly recommend the hotel.

My room was lovely. Sometimes we had a difficulty of getting into the restaurants because they didn’t take reservations. Therefore, you had to wait in line which can be kind of inconvenience. If you have little ones the main struggle that we had in the property was around the pool because many of the lawn chairs were taken at 6 AM and there was nowhere to sit. This was a problem and extra stress that could’ve been resolved if there was a better policy in place overall the food was great most of the time we ate in the restaurants we did not eat at the buffet often only for breakfast. I do recommend the preferred lounge. The drinks in there were lovely And the bartender was amazing. There is not a lot of entertainment at night so if you’re looking for a quieter hotel, this might be the hotel for you. Otherwise we found that there were not a lot of shows or entertainment or options of things to do in the evening. The location is close to the airport but quite far away from town so you do have to take a taxi to go to town And they can organize that for you if you enjoy golfing the golf course was highly recommended by many people and very well kept there is the turtle sanctuary which is beside the hotel and to visit it. It’s by donation only and that is something need for the kids to see The ocean is quite rough so you cannot swim in the ocean unless you’re an incredibly amazing swimmer as when we were there, the flags were always up encouraging us to avoid swimming in the ocean.

The staff were incredible! So kind and helpful. The food was amazing - lots of choices for restaurants. The rooms are beautiful and every one overlooks the ocean. My family loved this resort. The only thing lacking was the nightly entertainment and they needed more chairs around the pool.

Dara, at reception was great for check-in, check-out and also getting change from larger bills. Luis around the pool was very attentive. All the staff was helpful and great to deal with honestly, I just can't remember all of their names!

Specialty restaurants food was very good but several servers were not well trained. Main buffet was too much the same day to day and was not open at sinner time. Enjoyed the Energy Plaza dinners. Entertainment was only so-so (average). Weather was not what we were expecting. Windy most days. Room was very nice and great view of ocean and pool areas.

Quiet relaxing resort off the beaten path close to airport. The staff goes out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. We did tip but we felt it was not like they expected it. Staff really appreciated the tips and one of our waiters was SO appreciative and made our night by saying ‘God bless you’. There are no bracelets. The beach is walkable for miles each way and quiet. We saw dolphins daily but you have to watch for them. There are no beach activities like parasailing or jet skis. All rooms are ocean view. We did preferred club which is ocean front. Preferred club has separate pool area & bar but is quiet -no music. There is also a preferred lounge. We also got 2 rounds of free golf with 4 nights preferred booking. The golf course is amazing! At least 6 holes right on the ocean and is in beautiful shape. The club house overlooks the ocean also. We paid $50 for new PXG clubs plus they gave us a free drink. They pick you up at the hotel with golf cart & take you there. We thought the food options were all good. Nice coffee shop. No reservations required at restaurants which was SO nice. Rooms are big and nicely decorated with many amenities. We really enjoyed our stay & would return. We didn’t go to Stone Island but it’s a $30 taxi there and heard it was fun and authentic Mexico experience.
